Copenhagen Walk - This was an excellent tour of Copenhagen landmarks. Our guide, Jens, was extremely well informed, telling us about Danish history and customs. He gave us the background of many landmarks that we encountered on our walk. In Addition, he had many interesting, and often humorous, stories to tell about Copenhagen and Denmark.

Thomas is exceptional! - Thomas was really a great guide, he was not just friendly, bur passionate about what he was telling and describing to us. We enjoyed his company, his insight and all the knowledge he shared. The food was great also. After his tour we were able to navigate the city for the next couple of days with no problem. Great Guide, highly recommended.

Great tour and a great guide - Great tour and a great guide! I could really tell that he loved his native city and knew a lot about it. The tour started at the city hall, and we made our way past the main sites of the city. It ended outside the royal palace and a changing of the guards. Much of the walk was along the water which I really enjoyed. Along the way we also piper in at the royal stables, a few design shops and a lovely flower shop.

Exceptional Learning Experience - Copenhagen and its history and culture came alive through this walking tour. Jens was a wonderful guide, well-spoken and well-informed. He shared his vast knowledge of the city and its history with wisdom, insight, and humor. I gained a more comprehensive understanding of Denmark and its history. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide.

An afternoon stroll through old town Copenhagen - Jens was knowledgeable and engaging. It was wonderful to talk with a native from Copenhagen with such a vast understanding of the culture and people. We especially enjoyed his recollections as we walked through various parts of old town. We finished the afternoon off with a beautiful spread of cakes and hot chocolate at La Glacé.

Informative and Interesting Couple of Hours - We were very fortunate on our walk to see the king drive past on his way to the opening of Parliament. The guide was very enthusiastic and informative. He timed the walk to end with the opportunity to view the changing of the guards ceremony at the Amalienborg Palace.

Good tour of the city - Saw the back streets and history of the town which you would not have seen if you had just followed a map.
